Please watch out this people. They always have their agenda. No big difference. Sri Lanka need to stand alone.

Remember, England made Ceylon a "Crown Colony" This avoided Sri Lanka being a part of India. They handed over the country to people of Sri Lanka intact, without dividing.

The UK must first and foremost recommence the issue of UK visas in our own country. Why should our visa applications be processed in Chennai? We are given stepmotherly treatment despite paying non refundable visa fees. And if rejected mind you it takes 28 working days to query. No personal communication but written complaints and appeals. Dosent the UK embassy occupy a prime spot of land in colombo?
